Antialiasing in Firefox
By default the text in Firefox appears jagged compared to IE on LCD screen under Windows. Looks like IE7+ uses ClearType by default, but you need to turn it on system-wide for other programs to use it in Windows XP. How do you turn on antialiasing in Firefox ? Follow these steps to enable Cleartype for smooth edges for screen fonts:
Desktop -> Right Click -> Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects
Then enable "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:" choose ClearType as your option and then apply the settings, that’s it you are done. Now the windows, Firefox and IE displays the text or font properly rendered with smooth or soft edges.

To further adjust cleartype experience, use ClearType Web tuner or downloadable PowerToy Tuner from the Microsoft typography page.
